Speaking as a Linux user, I tend to prefer it not be installed into /usr
unless I explicitly add --prefix=/usr.  None of the other tools, such
as ld, as, etc. install themselves into /usr, and in fact when I started
using Linux, I tended to get burned by it installing itself into /usr
and the assembler and friends installing themself into /usr/local, until
I started using --prefix all of the time.
